Responsible for machine engineering and engineering management of domestic and international capital projects for new and existing manufacturing machines. The scope of projects ranged from the design of individual components to the design of entire manufacturing facilities.• Provided engineering management and commissioning management for a $2.5M project to upgrade and relocate the Web Lab development facility. Coordinated resources between Kodak and multiple contractors across multiple disciplines, and served as primary technical resource between the various suppliers. Helped to develop project business justification, obtain capital funding, and led the development of a detailed equipment plan.• Assigned as mechanical engineering lead for international design team in the development and design of a $100M LCD film coating machine facility. Developed a machine configuration that allowed for minimal building size and cost. Worked with process and product development teams to generate designs to meet customer requirements. Conducted capability assessments of equipment suppliers, and reviewed specifications and designs with selected suppliers.• Managed a multi-disciplined engineering team of 20 Kodak and contract personnel on a $17.5M project to construct a building addition, install new unwinding and conveyance equipment, and provide a roll storage area for two paper coating machines at Kodak Park. Worked closely with overseas suppliers to generate equipment specifications, negotiate favorable pricing, and develop acceptance criteria. • Selected as the corporate “worldwide” technical leader for web winding, unwinding, and splicing issues. Worked with worldwide site representatives, the standard design committee, and the conveyance process club to create both site specific and common worldwide technical solutions.

Responsible for machine engineering and engineering management of domestic and international capital projects on existing manufacturing machines, focusing on web conveyance and winding equipment. • Assigned as Kodak Park technology coordinator on a $3M project to replace the winder and high-tension web conveyance path at the Brazil coating facility. Provided interface between a team of technical resources at Kodak Park, equipment suppliers, and the engineering team at the Brazil plant. Assisted with equipment debug and machine commissioning.• Designed a proprietary low inertia, low hysteresis pressure roller winding system for improved wide roll winding of film and paper. Led 6 different $750K+ projects to fabricate and install the system at worldwide manufacturing sites. • Led separate engineering teams through the design and installation of a $1.2M project to provide a CCD web defect scanner for photographic paper, a $500K project to provide a laser web defect scanner for sensitized film, and a $500K project to provide infrared web scanning capability for closed-loop control of web thickness variability on an acetate casting machine. • Selected as the corporate “worldwide” technical leader for conveyance roller engineering and design activities. Led a multi-skilled team that focused on roller development, fabrication, and utilization issues. Managed over 20 projects/year and $1M/year of roller design and fabrication for worldwide conveyance roller users.

Responsible for leading machine design efforts on capital improvement projects, including management of design teams from conceptual through detail design and drafting. Generated design and detail drawings using Anvil 5000 CAD software.• Designed various equipment relating to the casting of acetate and Estar film webs, including casting stations, dope hopper raising mechanisms, vapor sealed doors, and explosion release panels. Designed, wrote procedures, and tested a rotating drum stand that was used for replacement of a 5’ wide, 300’ long continuous steel casting band.

Responsible for design, drafting, fabrication follow-up, and installation support on capital projects for Kodak. Generated design and detail drawings manually and in Anvil 5000.• Designed solution delivery systems for pilot coating facilities, including valves, mounting cabinets, and pump carts. Led the design of the prototype and first production Modified Passive Liquefier, used for combined melting and delivery of photographic composition gel.
